Odaily News The digital euro, issued by the European Central Bank (ECB) and representing public money, is still in the development stage; EURR, on the other hand, is a stablecoin issued by a private institution designed to maintain a value of 1 euro. Both are aimed at meeting the demand for instant fund transfers within digital platforms.Fintech company Revolut has begun a phased rollout of its euro stablecoin EURR to eligible users in Denmark, Poland, and Portugal, with plans to expand to the European Economic Area in the future. EURR is deployed on the Ethereum network and can be used for on-chain transfers between fiat currencies, crypto assets, external wallets, and supported blockchain networks.EURR is issued by Bridge Building, a Stripe-owned company, rather than directly by Revolut. Piero Cipollone, a member of the ECB's Executive Board, stated that the digital euro will offer the highest level of privacy supported by current technology, with offline payments visible only to the payer and payee, while in online transactions, participating banks will still have access to information required for anti-money laundering compliance.

Odaily News: trade.xyz stated on the X platform that it has jointly submitted a comment letter with @HyperliquidPC to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), calling for the establishment of a regulated U.S. market path for energy perpetual contracts and 24/7 trading. The company stated that during this year's crude oil market shock, the energy market remained open while the benchmark market was temporarily closed; on multiple weekends, trade.xyz became the primary venue for price discovery.The comment letter states that on February 28, the Middle East conflict disrupted energy exports from the region and unsettled global supply chains. During the oil market closure, U.S. airlines, refiners, and fund managers holding crude oil exposure lacked a regulated venue to respond until futures markets reopened on Sunday evening. On March 9, Brent crude prices approached $120 per barrel at one point, and jet fuel prices doubled within weeks.The comment letter states that during the first weekend following the conflict, market participants outside the U.S. were able to manage crude oil exposure through the crude oil perpetual contract on Hyperliquid; from Friday's close until the benchmark market reopened, approximately two-thirds of the price movement had already occurred on-chain.The CFTC has previously allowed the first batch of digital asset-backed perpetual contracts to trade as futures on U.S. exchanges, and is soliciting comments on issues related to energy perpetual contracts, including contract design, reference prices, market integrity, clearing, customer protection, and continuous trading.The comment letter states that trade.xyz is the first and largest third-party perpetual contract market deployment on Hyperliquid, and its WTI, Brent crude, and Henry Hub natural gas markets have accumulated a total trading volume exceeding $500 billion since their launch in October 2025. The comment letter further states that in its research sample, during approximately 75% of weekend market closures, the weekend price of the crude oil perpetual contract was closer to the benchmark market's Friday close than the benchmark market's Sunday reopen price; since the launch of the crude oil perpetual contract, CME WTI reopening quality has not shown statistically significant deterioration.The comment letter recommends setting asset-class-specific leverage limits for U.S. market participants engaging in energy commodity perpetual contracts, disclosing funding rates and liquidation mechanisms in plain language, and implementing other market integrity safeguards, while also allowing compliant markets to use on-chain infrastructure for trade execution, margin management, clearing, settlement, and recordkeeping.

Odaily News - Coinbase has disclosed the architecture and application of its internal AI system "CEEcil." This system is not a simple chatbot but is designed as an AI agent that functions like a "team member." It can be mentioned in Slack, and possesses long-term memory, proactive follow-up, and judgment capabilities.CEEcil retains team context through a three-tier memory mechanism: in the background, it continuously extracts information such as decisions, blocked items, and owners from authorized channels; each night, it consolidates short-term observations into long-term summaries; and when answering questions, it retrieves historical memories, recent conversations, and real-time data on demand. The system also adopts a tiered model architecture, where simple queries are prioritized for processing via APIs or knowledge bases, and only complex, multi-step tasks are delegated to more powerful AI models, thereby reducing cost and latency.In practical applications, CEEcil can proactively join relevant Slack discussions, send emoji reactions, and automatically follow up when issues go unaddressed. Coinbase states that the system also once refused to submit operational documents containing customer identity information to Git, suggesting the use of redacted versions or compliant storage methods instead—demonstrating a certain level of security judgment.Architecturally, CEEcil consists of a Go service and an AI agent runtime, and connects to tools such as memory retrieval, knowledge bases, real-time queries, and Slack via MCP. Coinbase also has set up a real-time "kill switch," call limits and spending caps, audit mechanisms, and requires human review and merging of the code it generates.Coinbase says CEEcil is now able to help teams handle production incidents and answer expert knowledge that previously would have required waiting hours to obtain. In the future, the company hopes to expand this model into multiple AI agents tailored to specific teams, enabling AI not only to "answer questions" but also to continuously remember, proactively participate, and complete actual work.
